The Transfer Tavern

Chelsea to replace Petr Cech with La Liga based-star?

Metro have our regulars in the Football Transfer Tavern looking up with shock as they claim Jose Mourinho is eyeing a swoop for Real Madrid goalkeeper Diego Lopez.

The two worked together during Mourinho’s time at the Bernabeu and after Lopez was reportedly told he could leave the club, it seems the Chelsea boss is eyeing a link up once again with Iker Casillas in line to stay at the La Liga giants.

Now as one of our punters notes, Chelsea already have three goalkeepers and these links make us think that Petr Cech could well be on his way out of the club despite what Mourinho tells the press.

The long serving Chelsea keeper could well be facing a season on the bench.

We think that Cech could well consider a move away from the Blues should Courtois be handed the number one shirt come the opening game of the season against Burnley that is.

Chelsea fans. Would you welcome a move for Lopez? Is this just musical chairs? Let us know your thoughts below.
